Many of you know I suffered from severe postpartum depression after my first child and almost took my own life. It has been five years since that time and I know I have grown and learned many things from the experience. For the whole story, click here.
After quite a few months of preparing and getting things all squared away, I am finally a Postpartum Support International Nevada Co-Coordinator. I am so excited to be able to help others through my own experience! And Postpartum International is an amazing nonprofit organization. They have so much information and offer amazing support and resources for those suffering during and after pregnancy. I have learned a lot and only wish I had known about PSI when I was experiencing postpartum depression.
As a volunteer co-coordinator, I am holding postpartum support meetings twice a month for mothers experiencing mood disorders during and after pregnancy. I am so grateful for this opportunity and pray I can help others.
The following are the details of the support meetings. Please pass this information on to any who may need it.
Starting in February
